Makeup applicator storage system

Abstract

A makeup applicator storage system includes a makeup applicator holder that has a first end and a second end. The makeup applicator holder is shaped to hold a makeup applicator at the first end firmly enough that the makeup applicator holder can be used as a handle during makeup application. The makeup applicator holder includes first ferromagnetic material at the second end of the makeup applicator holder. A storage container has a storage lid that includes second ferromagnetic material at an underside of the storage lid. The second ferromagnetic material is oriented at an underside of the storage lid so that the makeup applicator holder can be magnetically attached to the storage lid allowing the makeup applicator, when held by the makeup applicator holder, to be hung from the storage lid when the storage lid is on the storage container and the storage container is oriented so that the storage lid is on a top of the storage container.

What is claimed is:

 a storage container; and, 
 a storage lid for the storage container, the storage container including second ferromagnetic material at an underside of the storage lid, the second ferromagnetic material oriented at an underside of the storage lid so that the makeup applicator holder can be magnetically attached to the storage lid allowing the makeup applicator, when held by the makeup applicator holder, to be hung from the storage lid when the storage lid is on the storage container and the storage container is oriented so that the storage lid is on a top of the storage container. 
 
     
     
       2. A makeup applicator storage system as in  claim 1 , wherein the makeup applicator is in the shape of a tube. 
     
     
       3. A makeup applicator storage system as in  claim 1 , wherein the makeup applicator comprises a tube that includes a groove on an inner wall of the tube, the groove being situated near the first end so that the groove helps secure the makeup applicator within the tube when the makeup applicator holder holds the makeup applicator. 
     
     
       4. A makeup applicator storage system as in  claim 1 , wherein the makeup applicator comprises a tube that includes a groove on an inner wall of the tube, the groove being situated near the first end so that the groove helps secure the makeup applicator within the tube when the makeup applicator holder holds the makeup applicator;
 wherein the groove has a rounded shape. 
 
     
     
       5. A makeup applicator storage system as in  claim 1 , wherein the makeup applicator comprises a tube that includes a groove on an inner wall of the tube, the groove being situated near the first end so that the groove helps secure the makeup applicator within the tube when the makeup applicator holder holds the makeup applicator;
 wherein the groove has a half circle shape. 
 
     
     
       6. A makeup applicator storage system as in  claim 1 , wherein the makeup applicator comprises a tube that includes a groove on an inner wall of the tube, the groove being situated near the first end so that the groove helps secure the makeup applicator within the tube when the makeup applicator holder holds the makeup applicator;
 wherein the groove has a sharp ridge. 
 
     
     
       7. A makeup applicator storage system as in  claim 1 , wherein the makeup applicator comprises a tube that includes a groove on an inner wall of the tube, the groove being situated near the first end so that the groove helps secure the makeup applicator within the tube when the makeup applicator holder holds the makeup applicator;
 wherein the groove has a sharp ridge with teeth. 
 
     
     
       8. A makeup applicator storage system as in  claim 1 , wherein the makeup applicator comprises a tube that includes a plurality of grooves separated by sharp ridges on an inner wall of the tube, the plurality of grooves being situated near the first end so that the plurality of grooves helps secure the makeup applicator within the tube when the makeup applicator holder holds the makeup applicator. 
     
     
       9. A makeup applicator storage system as in  claim 1 :
 wherein the storage container is sufficiently large to hold at least one additional makeup applicator; and, 
 wherein the second ferromagnetic material is arranged so that at least one additional makeup applicator holder can be magnetically attached to the storage lid allowing at least one additional makeup applicator, when held by the at least one additional makeup applicator holder, to be hung from the storage lid when the storage lid is on the storage container and the storage container is oriented so that the storage lid is on the top of the storage container. 
 
     
     
       10. A makeup applicator storage system as in  claim 1 , wherein the first ferro magnetic material comprises two pieces of ferro magnetic material and the second ferro magnetic material comprises two pieces of ferro magnetic material.
